BETRAYED BEFORE TAKING OFFICE: Obama Stabs Trump in the Back by Shutting Down This Crucial Program

The Obama administration has ground aerial surveillance of the border for the rest of the year. This surveillance has nabbed over 110,000 illegals and Obama just up and decided they didn’t need it anymore. Let’s hope when Trump gets in the program will be reinstated.

Surveillance flights nabbed 110,000 illegal immigrants trying to cross into the United State from Mexico, The Daily Signal reports.

The flights, operating under a program called Operation Phalanx, were shut down — at least for the rest of the year by Homeland Security — amid protests from elected officials who represent the adjacent area.

According to the Daily Signal, Operation Phalanx logged 2,800 hours of flight time in in the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo sectors in Texas since March. About 1,000 additional flight hours were reported in the Tucson, Arizona area.

The flights were credited with stopping 64,000 illegal border crossings in the Rio Grand sector and 25,000 in Laredo. Phalanx also apprehended another 21,000 people attempted to cross illegally in the Tucson area.
